return to democracy—thousands wounded and several killed in street demonstrations. In the end, the king stepped down, democracy has a chance, the Maoist insurgents and the new government have declared a ceasefire, and for the first time in a long time the near future for Nepal looks bright. Doing development in ‘normal’ conditions of underdevelopment, illiteracy, poverty, corruption, discrimination is a tough job—much tougher in the middle of a conflict and political impasse. I am delighted that we now have a window of opportunity to help rebuild Nepal.” Don plans to retire in a year or two and move back to N.H. Y Donna Massey is as busy as ever with her work as a clinical social worker in an outpatient community mental health center, her children (two still at home), her house and yard, her Unitarian Universalist community, and hobbies (hiking, singing, knitting, reading, gardening). Y Alan Clark lives in Cushing, Maine; however, he and Lola try to spend as much time as possible in Mexico. In October 2005 his play for voices, Guerrero, was produced at Colby by Dick Sewell. Alan’s paintings and prints, as well as his poetry and plays, have been displayed and presented throughout the Northeast and Mexico. An exhibition of his Mexican art, Blood and Stone, was at the Farnsworth Art Museum in Rockland in 2004, and Woman by a Pool: Pages from a Book, an exhibition of images and poems, was at the Caldbeck Gallery a few months ago. His daughter, Lyonelle, was to marry Andy Staples in September. More about Alan can be found at his Web site, www.alanclark. com. Y Ed Woodin continues to be busy with his store fixture design and manufacturing company. He stays in touch with Sari Abul-Jubein, who still operates his restaurant, Casablanca, in Cambridge. Y Mike Foose spoke at Ursinus College last spring. His talk, “Earth Science Issues in Africa and the Middle East-Impacts on Economic Development, the Environment, and Foreign Policy,” showed how the U.S. government is using its expertise in earth science to address issues ranging from economic development, environmental sustainability, hazard mitigations, and conflict resolution. Y Rae Jean Braunmuller Goodman continues as a professor of economics at the U.S. Naval Academy and enjoys a second role as half-time director of teaching and learning. In this role she attempts
to entice faculty into thinking about their teaching and student learning and, perhaps, change what they are doing. Her son, Albert, graduated from Colby in 2003 and works in New York City; daughter Sarah graduated from Goucher in 2001 and works in Maryland. Her husband, Bob, is enjoying every minute of retirement. She says anyone who comes to the Annapolis area is welcome to call. Y I look forward to hearing from many more classmates soon. —Ray Gerbi
